I'm not a data guy but excel for 20,000 items doesn't seem that bad if used properly


It's not. Excel maxes out at around 250,000 rows I believe. Depending on the data set, that could either be plenty or not nearly enough. Problem is if you max out the the sheet, and have it full of a bunch of vlookups and functions, it can take forever to load and save.

Excel has a limit of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per sheet. CSV files can hold many more rows. You can read more about these limits and others from this Microsoft support article here.Jul 7, 2023

But good luck trying to open that file if you have data and calculations in all of those cells….
